BEATRICE'S POVI didn't give them a chance to take my father. I followed them until we got to the station."What are you doing? You have to stop following us around." The cops were annoyed and stopped me halfway through following them."What? Am I not supposed to know where my father is ending up? Or do you have other plans with his body?" I said that out loud so that he would feel suspicious."What the hell is wrong with you?" One of the cops walked over to me."I need an explanation for why my father is being arrested." My patience is at zero right now, and I want to do some mad displays if they don't give me the information I need.Maggie was beside me, traumatised; she was unable to say a word. Her eyes just kept wandering around and searching for her father."You want to know what is wrong? Fine, your father here is a thief, and he is being arrested." The cops explained, leaving us in shock.My father is what? How does that even make sense when...I couldn't wrap my head around w
Chapter 95ELEANOR'S POV"So the long-awaited day is finally here." I couldn't hold myself from celebrating and doing most of the fun. Anderson and Sierra just kept looking. I couldn't tell if they are happy or sad, or if they are just trying to process the information."What?" I froze."Am I hallucinating, or did she just take your advice?" Anderson couldn't believe his eyes."If someone told me she was going to divorce the man she claims she'll die with, I wouldn't believe it." I scoffed.About the divorce, I meant it so much with passion, but then I didn't expect it that soon."What do you expect when the person that is supposed to help her joins in letting me get away after being slapped?" Anderson smirked and looked at Sierra.That's actually very correct; now she thinks her so-called husband, or should I address him as ex-husband, is taking sides with us. That is the most minor thing that will make her divorce her husband."Nevertheless, I'm still happy." I shrugged off any gu
ROBERT'S POVBeatrice's move was so impossible and so unpredictable, I couldn't be myself when the judge passed the judgement. I had so much to say, and I really wanted to say something, but then I choked; the words in my head couldn't be said out loud for some reasons I don't know."I swear to God that I'm going to rip out this girl's throat." I muttered the words as I walked angrily out of the court. Oh, how much I planned to just press her neck until she's gone, but then I thought about the consequences. I was being watched, and no one would buy the excuse that I was angry.I watched my account get empty just because I had to pay this bitch for some stupid things."Lay your hands on me and watch your ass get thrown in jail." She has so much boldness in her.Uhh, I like what I am seeing. How strong and confident.I smirked and walked away to the car; my anger was about to control me, and I know how it works.*******Back in the house, I didn't stop drinking. My eyes were bawling o
BEATRICE'S POVIt was just the day for the divorce, and I wonder why I wasn't moved a bit. It felt like some of my worries were taken away from me.I could sense that I care less about what's going on with Robert and his stupid business and feelings. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Maggie was on my neck and kept panting on my behalf; she feared so much that Robert would use his influence to win the case. "Yes, Maggie, I'm ready. I'm ready to bring down this arsehole for that humiliation he caused me..." I clenched my lips.They were quivering already."It's okay, Beatrice; I'm sorry I made you remember this." She hugged me warmly while I was trying to fight the tears back.I stayed quiet and enjoyed the warm hug from my sister.My father and mother walked into the room; we paused everything that we were doing and stared at them."I...I will give you guys some space…" Maggie turned to me."I will catch up with you later." She smiled and patted my shoulders as she walked out.O
ANDERSON'S POV"If you think she's going to rethink the whole divorce stuff, then what happens when she signs the case?" I thought hard and tried to make meaning out of what Eleanor was telling me."Then she gets divorced." Eleanor shrugged, unbothered.I wasn't buying this one. Sierra cuts in sharply; I guess she was as confused as I was."You know, when she wins the case, it doesn't mean she will stop coming after you. You are the one who literally gave her the idea, so she's going to see you as the bad person." Sierra explained further."Exactly! So now we should be predicting her next move." I agreed to what Sierra said."That is what I am trying to think of; she should be looking for a way to get her family company back to standard. I mean...." Eleanor still wasn't getting the point.Everything traced back to her, so she will still be attacked."And you think you will be exempted from that too?" Sierra was just with me in my thoughts.She knew exactly what I was going to say. "E
BEATRICE POV"You know that thing I told you about yesterday?" I threw the files on the table.Maggie looked tired and confused; her eyes were already bulging out, and she just couldn't speak. My sister never gave up; all her mind was on how to make it up with the company.She sluggishly dragged the files to her and scanned through them."You're filing for a divorce?" A look of puzzlement crossed her face."Yes!" I didn't stutter.I am too pained for that; it is obvious that Robert regards me as no one."You must be joking, right?" Maggie's eyes widened.Her sudden droopy eyes were now round and wide."Can't you see the way I'm being treated? He is never going to change. Eleanor was right; I just had to give it time to see what she meant." I was losing my patience already; I just wanted the fucking matter to be over already."You know we need help for the company, and you are filing for a divorce. How are we supposed to help ourselves with this?" Maggie's eyes were full of fear."Oh,
